Re: CREAM vs the DEAD |
I was into Cream when they started through to when they split up and still admire both their studio work (here I think they win), and their live shows.
Cream jamming is nothing like the journey the Dead take you on. True the energy levels are high, but apart from moving from intense to relaxed and back again it's more about dexterity than imagination. And good though it is, it's driven by competition rather than co-operation.
Dead win, but bonus point to Cream for having a bass player who can sing.

"...bass player that can sing..."
Great! You know, he really had range--my understanding is that he had classical training, whatever that means, and besides playing lots of instruments, could put together amazing harmonies and lead vocals via studio efforts...
